This is a solar analogue, almost a solar twin, very similar to our own sun and you’ve got a planet 2.4 times the size of the Earth right smack in the habitable zone.”[/quote]
La sonda/telescopio Kepler della Nasa ([url=http://kepler.nasa.gov/]Kepler Space Telescope[/url]) in cerca di altri pianeti abitabili in giro per l’Universo, ha fatto un altro centro ed ecco a voi Kepler-22b, un pianeta grande due volte e mezzo la Terra e orbitante attorno ad una stella praticamente gemella del nostro amato Sole, ad una distanza perfetta per la vita… ci siamo! figata!
Ed è solo a 600 anni luce di distanza, uno sputo proprio.
